Notes:
C- Rule: Among science, engineering and mathematics courses, a grade of C- or below is considered unsatisfactory.
1EE students are advised to take MATH 216 before MATH 215 since EECS 216 is to be preceded or accompanied by MATH 216.
2If you have a satisfactory score or grade in Chemistry AP, A-Level, IB Exams or transfer credit from another institution for Chemistry 130/125/126 you will have met the Chemistry Core Requirement for CoE.
3If you have a satisfactory score or grade in Physics AP, A-Level, IB Exams or transfer credit from another institution for Physics 140/141 and 240/241 you will have met the Physics Core Requirement for CoE.
4EE students may select only EECS 401 to fulfill this requirement. At most 4 credits of undergraduate probability may be applied towards the B.S.E.-(EE) degree requirements. For students declaring prior to Fall, 2006: MATH 425 will not suffice as a prerequisite for any class that requires EECS 401; if a student chooses MATH 425 in place of EECS 401, then he/she will be required to take 11 credits of Upper-level EE Technical Electives, and 11 credits of Flexible Technical Electives; the total number of credits required to graduate (128) remains the same.
5Technical Communication: TCHNCLCM 300 can be taken independently of any EECS course, but it is a prerequisite for TCHNCLCM 496. It is advisable to take TCHNCLCM 496 with a Major Design Experience (MDE) course.
6Flexible Technical Electives: The flexible technical elective requirement may be fulfilled by taking selected courses in EECS, other engineering departments, biology, chemistry, economics, math, or physics. See the EECS Undergraduate Advising Office for the current list. All other courses must be approved by an EE Chief Program Advisor.
7Core Electives: At least 8 credits from at least two categories: Communication, Control and Signal Processing (353, 451, 455, 460), Circuits and Solid State (311 or 312), Electromagnetics/optics (330) or Computers (270 or 370).
8Upper Level EE Technical Electives: EECS courses at the 300-level or higher, excluding EECS 496, 497, 498, and EECS 499; at least 3 credits must be at the 400-level or higher. Excludes software courses. See the EECS Undergraduate Advising Office for the current list.
9Major Design Experience: Pre-approved courses: EECS 411, 413, 425, 427, 430, 438, 452, 470; other courses that are MDEs in other engineering programs may be acceptable with prior approval of the Chief Program Advisor. Students are advised to enroll concurrently in EECS 496, TCHNCLM 496 and MDE course.
A maximum of 4 credits of EECS 499 may be applied to Technical Elective requirements, and only in the area of Flexible Technical Electives. Anything beyond 4 credits will be applied toward Free Electives.
Sequential Graduate/Undergraduate Study (SGUS)
BSE in Electrical Engineering/
MS Biomedical Engineering
This SGUS program is open to all undergraduate students from Electrical Engineering who have achieved senior standing (85 credit hours or more) and have an overall cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher. Please contact the Department of Biomedical Engineering for more complete program information.
Concurrent Undergraduate/Graduate Studies (CUGS)
BSE or BS in one of the EECS programs or Computer Science/
MSE or MS in one of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Programs
This is a Concurrent Undergraduate/Graduate Studies (CUGS) program through Rackham that is open to all EECS and Computer Science undergraduates who have completed 85 or more credit hours with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.6. Please contact the EECS Department for more complete program information.
Honors Program: Engineering Global Leadership Program
The Engineering Global Leadership Program (EGL) is an exciting honors program that allows students to complement their engineering education with courses in the Ross School of Business and global/cultural courses in LS&A. The EGL Honors Program prepares students to communicate across cultures and across the engineering/business boundaries. Students also complete a practical internship and leadership training. This honors program is very rigorous (full course loads every semester and maintenance of a high GPA) and leads to two degrees; a BSE and a Master's degree in Engineering. For more details, go to the website http://www.engin.umich.edu/egl/ .
